Got to Go

There’s a place where no-one goes
Over run with pimps and ‘ho’s
These days I want to forget
All the ones that life rejects
I’m glad I’ve gone
I had to leave this city
Oh well
Got to go

The UN came on the day I left
You had a bomb strapped to your vest
Every day I wake with sweats
You’re the one I can’t protect
With all loved ones gone
And no-one left to save you
Oh well, too bad
Got to go

You never herd a single word I said
Next time they’ll be chopping off your head
Can’t say I’m sorry, it’s the way you live your life
I know it ‘ain’t quite cricket, I got my one way ticket

I’m glad I’ve gone
I had to leave this city
Oh well
Got to go

I got a house the size of our street
With dead tigers under my feet
I saw your corps on the evening news
Like Humpty dumpty, you were born to loose
These days I can forget, all the one’s that I reject
I know it’s wrong
I had to leave you baby
So what
Got to Go
